Behti hui Ganga

Why is it that we always seem to be at loose ends whenever there is a crisis,when we can be reasonably sure,on the basis of past empirical evidence and stats,that the crisis will almost certainly blow over,sooner or later? This posit is probably due to the fact that we underestimate the impact of extraneous factors, over which we have little or no control whatsoever,on our lives. Ultimately, in my opinion, everything seems to boil down to a bit of Bahti huin Ganga mein haath dho lo,laced with a strong belief in Karmayoga for most ordinary mortals (Hindus,that is), like yours truly.
